I ordered gyros sandwich with fries. They hardly put any gyros in the sandwich. It tasted like veggies with yogurt sauce rolled up in a pita. Also, they didn't salt the fries! They took 30 minutes to make 3 orders of gyros sandwich and fries. Not coming back to this joint again.

It was not good Mediterranean food. They need to take the Mediterranean option off the menu.

Delicious Fresh Food. Kind Service. Cassava was very good not spicy though, with peppers and onion. Chicken crispy. Plenty of seating! Good Music but not too loud I was able to get some editing done. Will return and I suggest you give them a try! Thank youuu

Serve was super friendly and the food was delicious. I ordered the greens and rice special and it did not disappoint. Portions were huge. Hidden gem if you ask me.

I've had my eye on Wologisi for a while. It used to be Al Watan's restaurant but they've moved next door as a bakery. Turns out I've tried Wologisi before. The guy at the counter told me that they catered at World Fest. They had torborgee when I was there which tasted amazing!My friend and I came for lunch on a Monday. Not super busy bur there were a handful of customers dining in and folks coming in to pick up to go orders.The guy at the counter suggested I tried the fried fish with dry rice. My friend got the potatoes green.Huge portions! It's shareable with at least 2 people. The rice was a ton too! My dish came with a whole fish. Maybe it was tilapia? And fried plantains and a spicy vegetable-looking mixture. I asked for it to be spicy and it was fabulous!My friend also got a ton of rice with a spinach stew. We both enjoyed the food! It reminds me of my dad's cooking. He's from West Africa so some of the dishes look and taste similar.Great prices for what you're getting too. And it's vegetarian friendly which is a plus.Staff was fantastic! Friendly and came to check on us. The owner came to our table and gave us homemade peanut brittle as well.Lots of booths inside. Not sure how busy they get but they have a decent number of tables to sit at.Parking is easy but not a ton of spots. It could fill up fast but there were always people leaving and coming. A convenience store is next door.Can't wait to come back! Probably one of my favorite spots in town now!

Trying new cuisines is kind of my favorite, so when a friend suggested we try Wologisi as our next location for our traveling book club, I enthusiastically agreed. I arrived first, which provided me the opportunity to chat with the owner (who is absolutely lovely) about the menu. There are SO many entrees, all uniquely seasoned and crafted with care. Unfortunately, they are also all meat-based, which was a problem for me, a plant based eater. When I inquired about her vegetarian offerings, she lit up and began to describe the various dishes that either are, or can be made vegetarian. When she asked whether I liked a certain type of food and discovered that the answer was repeatedly a resounding "yes," she winked and said, "I will make you a special vegetarian sampler." Having no idea what I've ordered typically would fill me with trepidation, however this lady seemed quite trustworthy, so I put my nutrition and hunger in her hands.When my food arrived I knew I had made the correct decision. Spinach rice, pepper, tomato, and onion stew, sweet fried plantains, corn bread, smoked flat bread, yuca root - all gorgeous to behold and incredible to devour. My carnivorous companions ordered a variety of meat-based entrees and were similarly delighted. The portion sizes are quite generous - I was full when I left, and had enough for two lunches later that week.Although the food stands on its own, the staff really make this a special place. They are so welcoming, gracious, helpful, and culinarily talented; Wologisi is a place I am delighted to visit again. And again.

Ask for the spicy sauce. I dare you. You'll wonder why they are serving it by the eye dropper. You will not wonder for long. Super friendly people here. Lots of curries and other things that I'm not terribly familiar with. I've never met a cuisine that I did not like. I got the chicken curry. Light coconut curry with lots of spices. I rarely order white meat chicken. It tends to be over cooked and dry especially in a steam table stew type environment. Not here. Really well done. Not stringy, just cooked and held perfectly. The lovely women in the very colorful dress was genuinely pleased that I liked her spicy sauce. She insisted I take another dose to go. You don't have to offer twice sister. This place used to be Al wataan my favorite mid eastern place. Now it's my favorite Liberian place.

4/11/22 I came here for lunch as I love Mediterranean and African cuisine. It's not hard to locate, and they have a spacious parking area. The restaurant around 1 pm was empty which is always a fear, but the food was good. I was greeted by their staff, but my order I called for wasn't ready, although they were able to bring it together quickly. I decided to eat in rather than taking it to go, and enjoyed it. Reason for my rating: rice was a bit more chewy for my liking, and as a daily rice eater, somewhat disappointing. The vegetable options are slim, and no oxtails on the menu. Overall, everything else was great. The potato greens was somewhat spicy but it made my dish taste just right. I'd definitely return here again if oxtails get added to the menu.

We had had this food at the world fair and the restaurant is just as wonderful. True traditional flavors and great service. The owner takes time to explain the meals, the heritage behind the food and have general good conversation with patrons. The restaurant doesn't tout flash and flare in their decor, but they don't need it because the flash and flare speaks heavily through their food.

Before the sign went up, I walked into what use to be Altawan, and found myself pleasantly surprised! Ownership had changed and it was no and African restaurant!!!While we live near a hub of delicious African eats, I've always wished a location pop up. The food is delicious and the service exceptional!!!I LOVE how the owners have remodeled and shifted the space. It's a weekly and occasional biweekly stop for us! Yum!
